Hosting of Hands-On Cooking and Baking Workshops

Other than those mentioned above, their product range also extends to essentials and specialty items alike, such as canned tomatoes, olive oil, frozen unagi, and cleaning agents. On a typical visit, you’ll also spot niche ingredients that are difficult to find elsewhere locally, like Mosa cream chargers, George Steuarts teas, Comstock pie fillings, or Australian oats. Their selection isn’t the type that’s targeted for Instagram aesthetics but for real production kitchens where functionality and availability are most important.

Beyond distribution, Buyerslink has also designed itself to be a learning avenue for food enthusiasts and business owners who want to grow consistently not just as individuals, but also anchor on knowledge and skills for the betterment of their business.

Over the past few years, the company has been hosting technical food workshops, sessions that cover topics like Asian cuisine, baking techniques, and commercial recipe development. These classes help food business owners, kitchen staff, and serious hobbyists improve their methods and decision-making. The idea is simple but often overlooked: access to knowledge should be as local as access to ingredients.

Chocolate-Making Workshop with CMV Txokolat and Our Market

This approach continues on June 21, 2025, when Buyerslink held the venue for a chocolate-making class in the Philippines, titled Build-A-Bar: Chocolate-Making Workshop, led by Owner and Head Chocolatier Christian Valdes of CMV Txokolat, a Metro Manila-based brand known for its premium chocolates.

The event, in collaboration with Our Market, manifests a broader goal of bringing industry-level chocolate-making training to Davao without requiring participants to travel to Manila or Cebu, where most of these opportunities tend to be concentrated. More importantly, this region is the country’s greatest producer of high-quality cacao, which explains why Davao is the Chocolate Capital of the Philippines; collaborating with nationally acknowledged food industry builders is a significant step forward in the growth of the chocolate and cacao industries wherever we are in the nation.

This whole event thing might make you think — because Buyerslink is a food distributor, a warehouse, so why are we holding a workshop there?

That’s what makes Buyerslink different from every other warehouse there is. It’s a working warehouse with relevant tools, stock, and even Unox commercial ovens, which it distributes in partnership with the brand. That means the learning happens in context, surrounded by equipment and supplies that can immediately support the techniques being taught. For chocolate-making, where temperature control and ingredient precision are crucial, the environment plays an important role. Attendees will not only see how it’s done, but how it actually takes on the process, using locally available tools and resources.

Christian will walk participants through the technical foundations of the process, teaching them how to make chocolate from scratch and mold it into a bar. His brand, CMV Txokolat, has proven quality with several branches in Bonifacio Global City, Rockwell, and Podium.

There’s also something honest about doing a chocolate class inside a warehouse. There are no glass walls or brand stage, only a well-lit room, equipment that’s been used probably a hundred times, ingredients you’ll recognize on the shelf, and chocolate-making techniques to carry with you as you leave the venue. It strips away the fantasy and exhibits just the beautiful reality of creating art in the form of food.

Technically, this kind of workshop is just one of the many for Buyerslink, but now, more than food supplying, sharing knowledge and contributing to other businesses’ growth have become part of their mission. What’s even more heartwarming is you can see them happy doing it!

The fact that food professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs can attend classes like these without having to fly out of Mindanao shows how regional infrastructure for food education is quietly improving.

As more food operators across the region look to upgrade their operations or refine their processes, Buyerslink going beyond the expected is a very well-meaning move.

If you’ve attended or are planning to attend one of their workshops, it’s worth paying attention not only to what is being taught, but also to where you’re learning it. The ingredients you’ll need are likely from the very shelves nearby. And the tools in the demo area? Probably for sale just a few steps away. Because Buyerslink also paid attention, that if you’re here for some ingredients, then you might love to learn too.
